again after pressing MODE, wait for

5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons

until the functions mode is cleared.

• Pressing MODE again also clears the

functions mode.

Discs produce very little noise compared

with other sources. Lower the volume

before playing a disc to avoid damaging

the speakers by the sudden increase of the

output level.
